When the final whistle of Week 4 blows, we’ll officially be through a quarter of the Fantasy Football. Needless to say, this is a huge marking point of your 2018 season, and a W is absolutely crucial. So follow your pulverizing lead blockers, The Wolf and Truth, to glory!

We start with a loaded trainers room, covering:

-Rex Burkhead’s move to the IR and what this means for Sony Michel

-Evan Engram’s 2-4 game absence, and who to turn to fill the void

-Doug Baldwin’s potential return, and if he can be trusted from the start

-The latest on LeSean McCoy’s ribs and if he’s usable when he returns

Plus, we run through another round of Higher, Lower, and Hail Mary. Find out:

-Why Andy Dalton, Gio Bernard, and Tyler Eifert all land on The Wolf’s “Must Start” list

-How Andrew Luck’s arm is still a major concern, and what his ROS outlook is

-Why first-rounder Kareem Hunt is getting too much love, and is far riskier than most are making him out to be

We also rifle through Week 4’s Burning Questions, which run the gamut on Baker Mayfield’s fantasy value in his first start, the Cardinals prospects under new starter Josh Rosen, and what to expect from the 49ers after losing Jimmy Garoppolo from the season (including the guy who sneakily benefits from this in fantasy).

All this, and a jam-packed mailbag, make for another can’t miss episode of The Fantasy Fullback Dive. Find paydirt in Week 4, and smash your open with the best advice in the business!

Josh Gordon is a Patriot! In an impromptu episode of On The Fantasy Beat, The Wolf welcomes on Ryan Hannable of WEEI Boston Sports Radio to discuss all the latest happenings in New England. In a jam-packed 10 minutes, we cover:

And we of course close with an epic Mail Bag. Nothing is more important than that Fantasy W, and we’ll help you secure it in Week 3!

A Wild Week 1 of the 2018 Season is officially in the books, and the Fantasy Football implications are massive. From emerging workhorses and target hogs, to shocking regressions, to breakouts we saw from a mile away, you can't prepare for Week 2 without learning Week 1's must-know lessons.

We'll also tackle the Week's most Burning Questions, now featuring:

-What is James Conner's Week 1 Value with Le'Veon Bell unlikely to go?

-Can you use Josh Gordon coming off the bench versus the Steelers, and what should you expect?
